Artist/Band: Everlast
Lyrics for Song: I Get By
Lyrics for Album: Songs Of The Ungrateful Living [2011]



Government man keep calling my house

Talking 'bout I owe, harassing my spouse

Gotta park my truck on another block

Cause the sub-prime loan got my ass in hock



Gotta couple good friends with helping hands

I need a brand new job with a health care plan

They closed the plant, they stole my job

Told me crime don't pay unless you ask the mob



So I smoke a little grass, drink a little wine

Watch a little tube, try to kill a little time

And every single day I fall a little more behind

But I'm paying it no mind, it'll all be fine



[Chorus:]

I get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by

I laugh not to cry

I stay a little high

I ain't gonna lie

I barely get by

I laugh not to cry

I stay a little high

I ain't gonna lie (got it good)



Party people in the place to be

Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by

It's on and on till the brake of dawn

Got to keep the rent paid and the power on



Yes yes y'all and it never stops

I don't trust the government, I don't trust no cops

We dip and we dive and we socialize

We struggle and we strive just to stay alive



I get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by (got it good, got it good)



When I finally get home I can't relax

Cause I've been over worked and I've been over taxed

My bank accounts empty, all my cards are maxed

And I ain't looking for no pity, I'm just stating the facts



I voted for some change and it's kinda strange

"No" it's all I got in my pocket

I bought a few led's, now I'm growing some trees

And it's a sweet fucking hustle don't knock it



I told y'all before I would break the law

To put some food in my baby girl's belly

Cause the senator man took a bribe in hand

And went and shipped my job to New Delhi



[Chorus:]

I get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by

I laugh not to cry

I stay a little high

I ain't gonna lie

I barely get by

I laugh not to cry

I stay a little high

I ain't gonna lie (got it good)



Party people in the place to be

Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by

It's on and on till the brake of dawn

Got to keep the rent paid and the power on

Yes yes y'all and it never stops

I don't trust the government

I don't trust no cops

I dip and I dive and I socialize

I struggle and I strive just to stay alive



[Chorus:]

I get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by (got it good, got it good)

I barely get by

I laugh not to cry

I stay a little high

I ain't gonna lie

I barely get by

I laugh not to cry

I stay a little high

I ain't gonna lie (got it good)
